Moreover, ever since the BS6 OBD2 engine norm has been introduced, the rates of all the vehicles across all the categories have increased.

Commenting on the CV sectors' performance in April, FADA President, Mr Manish Raj Singhania, said —"The CV segment maintained positive momentum with a 2% YoY increase in retail sales. However, dealers reported that vehicle availability was a major concern due to the OBD 2A norms. In addition, the low base from last year also contributed to the positive growth."
